حکمت شمارهٔ 36

Poet: Saadi

English translation: Rehatsek
هر که با داناتر از خود بحث کند تا بدانند که داناست، بدانند که نادان است.
چون در آید مِه از تویی به سخن
گرچه بِه دانی، اعتراض مکن

Whenever a man disputes with one who is more learned than himself to make people know of his learning, they will know that he is ignorant.

If one better than thyself begins to speak, Although thou mayest know better, contradict him not.
